Time sure does fly when you are having fun...
Truer words were never spoken. Another week has flown by here in Blieskastel and surroundings. Last week, after the Monday holiday, we took a day trip to Speyer and had a guided tour of the city. We climbed to the gallery of the Altpörtel, paused in the Judenhof for some history and went down into the Mikwe, where we had a chance to enjoy the cool air underground. Additionally, we went into the Dreifaltigskeitskirche, where the Lutheran movement took off. The interior of the church was spectacularly decorated. The students had the afternoon free to explore the city and many went to find shade and a fountain to cool off in. The rest of the week we spent at school, where we worked on our presentation for Wednesday evening and our GAPP project about food. Weekend plans included trips to Paris and other parts of France and a birthday party for Jordan, whose birthday was on Wednesday. I had the privilege to travel to Goersdorf, France with Frau Buhr to a former monastery to relax and enjoy the French countryside.
Saying goodbye to newfound friends is always difficult and our last five days in Blieskastel will probably pass by much too quickly and most likely a few tears will be shed. I personally would like to publicly thank both Dorothee and Barbara for their support and planning here in Germany and to my host family, Sabine, Peter, Elias and Marie for taking such good care of me during the last three weeks. It is this kind of personal experience and connection that makes all the difference.
Bis bald!
Frau S.
